   Another problem, with use the brass brushes are work hardening and become brittle.

   This is due to the gaps in between the Rods (doesn't happen on a Wimshurst as there is a disk between sectors)

   Alot of thinking later, I decided to try woven EMI shielding material backed with "repair tape" to give it strength, and some spring.
